Ginger,

 

I'm so glad to hear your good news as I was wondering why we hadn't heard form you for so long. Do let us know more. I notice that you edited your post and originally it said much more.

I originally had put more technical info about the treatment, but didn't know if anyone was interested in that.

 

I had angioplasty in both jugulars and my azygous.

 

Brain fog gone, fatigue better, foot drop better. Zamboni says that liberation is not a cure for MS, more a relief of symptoms. Zamboni also says that the full benefit of the treatment can take up to 18 months to be seen in full. So what I have seen in 5 days is very promising.

 

I just wanted to say to anyone thinking of Bulgaria, it is an excellent and very professional service.

 

I will keep you updated.

Hi all

Don't be pissed off for me.I'm one of the lucky one's , I go to Poland In 15 day's ( I'm getting a little giddy now ).

But DO be pissed off for the people that haven't got the means of going.

thats why I/we must continue the fight on their behalf. We have to get it going in the UK.

I'm hoping after the procedure to have more energy, If & when I have I know where that energy is going to be used. Lookout I'm coming for you: NHS/ NICE/ HM Government/ MSS .

MS people,

 

 

 

One week after liberation my abilities increase each day.

 

 

 

My EDSS has gone from 4.5 to 2.5 in one week and continues to improve. I can hold a coherent conversation for hours. Yesterday I walked for approximately 1 Km and played hide and seek with my little girl for 20 minutes. I nearly cried!

 

 

 

I feel fatigue

This is all very encouraging.

 

If we need to keep the blood going, maybe that is why I hear people advocate exercise. I certainly get less intense symptoms if I keep moving, still that might be due to other things and just a coincidence.

HI

I've read so many post Liberation reports ,watched countless utube clips.

But to hear it from a mate,who I have spoken to often since 2009,about our hope's & fears surrounding the whole Liberation , CCSVI debate. Knowing you would give a honest and frank review of your condition.Well this means so much more.

Thanks Ginger and may your improvement's continue.

And I'm right behind you 12Days and counting.

Summer,

 

I think your point about exercise is very relevant.

 

Co-incindenally the progression of my MS started after a house move, combined with having a baby. Some people might say this was stress, but I disagree.

 

I had mild symptoms for ten years or so before diagnosis. All that time I ran....allot. My MS syptoms only came on with full force when I stopped running. When you have a baby you do not have the time! This links in with the reduction in blood flow.

 

My main symptom 'WAS' fatigue which stopped me exercising. I can exercise now. If I can run again, this will be the cherry. A few weeks ago this would be unthinkable, but with the improvement I have seen I am not ruling this out.

 

While in Bulgaria some one told me a story of someone who started to run post liberation. We shall see. 4.5 to running is a big step.

 

In Bulgaria I remember showing grozdinski how I was amazed that I could hop on my bad leg.........unthinkable!

 

Suffice to say he stopped me immediatley............LOL.

My worst symptoms ever were when I had guests and we mostly sat around in the dark winter days, rarely doing more than going upstairs to shower or walking to the kitchen.

Gingermagic,

 

It's fantastic to hear about your improvements. Thank you for bringing us some hope.

 

I'm on the waiting list at Glasgow for a scan / liberation. Talking to others with MS at my local therapy centre, however, there is a mixture of pure scepticism about CCSVI and the Liberation treatment, but also some quiet enthusiasm. It's so good to hear about your real life experience to put it all into context.

 

Are you still taking LDN and having oxygen therapy?

After so many years of fatigue, I still do not have the confidence to stop LDN just yet, but am considering stopping it soon.

 

As for the oxygen, I am not stopping that for a while. As I see it my body has allot of healing and strengthening to do. This needs as much oxygen as I can get.

 

I have met then same responses to liberation at my ms therapy centre. Someone said to me,'the last one was stem cells, CCSVI is the just another flash in the pan.'

 

Each therapy needs to be considered on its own merrits. Stem cells have the potential to be everything and more to allot of people. But the technology for the application of stems cells is not there yet.

 

Where as CCSVI has published papers. Venous restriction has been found to exist in the majority of MS patients by Zamboni and the Bufallo study (in varying degrees).

 

Research everything for yourself, do not be swayed by nodding dogs standing on the side lines. I am sure Colm or myself would be happy to send you proof of the existence of CCSVI.

 

It was so refreshing in Bulgaria to hear qualified, experienced doctors talking about CCSVI as they would do in this country about varicous veins, or hernia operations. Don't be consumed by the sceptisism, the truth is out there!

this all sounds great news - it would be wonderful if someone who had it done videoed themself before and a catalogue of after. makes it more concrete for putting up a good fight for others.

      I am feeling stronger all the time. I walk without a limp, no fog and I walked 1 mile yesterday without a rest.   This is unheard of. If I wasn't such a raving atheist I would believe in miracles. Oops apparently while I was away God has become a tricky subject!   All I can say is god bless Grozdinski!   If this rate of improvement keeps going on I will be running again soon!   P.S. I have not stopped LDN and oxygen.   To add reason to my delight, I still have MS. I get fatigued, eventually and get brain fog when I have done too much. But I feel a hope which I have not felt for a long time.

    • I have returned - Missed everyone

      Hello Fellow Staggerer's.   Just a quick note, as you know, my Mother passed away a few weeks ago, so I spent a few weeks with my elderly Dad in Sunny Surrey (where it rained the enitre time!)   Anyways, funeral went as well as these things can. Was great to see my Elder Brothers, who made the trip from Vancouver, but seeing them at such a sad time wasn't great huh?   After organising the funeral, as Dad wasn't up to it, I found that by the day of the funeral, the Disability Gods, decided that if I was going to have a bad day, they would make it even worse. I could barley walk, achey legs was immense, but I got through.   Been and had the VEP's that MS specialst wanted, as he'd discovered nystagmus (which he hadn't picked up before) Technician said there were some 'oddities' but he would report back to MS Neuro within the week.   Am struggling still, balance, numbness and all manner of the usuals ! But, my disabled parking badge arrived this week, so that should make life a tad easier, when I feel up to venturing out.   Will catch up on the posts over the next few days, but a hearty 'Welcome' to the new faces   Wishing you all a good weekend, hopefully, without the rain.   Luv Scully x
